The Xanae concept car from 1994 demonstrated a new architecture for a mini MPV - in the event a not wildly dissimilar vehicle is going into production - the Picasso.

With suicide doors on the left side, a single door on the right side, comfortable seating for three to four people, a large glass area, swiveling front seats, and distinctive hatchback styling, the Xanae demonstrated Citroen's future proposal for a future small-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The windshield extended onto the
roof. The two glass areas were separated by a horizontal windshield/roof line. With a 2-liter engine connected to an automatic gearbox with a shifter on the steering column. the Xanae also carried a distinct interior. The asymmetrical steering wheel sat in front of the instrument panel, housing analog gauges and a protruding panel housing the car's controls. The passenger side was free of any
interruptions, aside from the glove compartment. The dashboard was also ﬂat, to allow easy placement of items.
